Romance and Realism
to: mother
blue paper –
love stories
your small writings
stories and poems
sad stories
so different from mine
but
that urge
to get it down
I caught it
from you.

Notes:
And now for our prompt (optional, as always). Today’s prompt comes to us from Juan Martinez. It asks you to think about a small habit you picked up from one of your parents, and then to write a piece that explores an early memory of your parent engaged in that habit, before shifting into writing about yourself engaging in the same habit.
